Reimei, aka Sharanra, has spent the last few days scouring her surroundings, trying to figure out Satoshi's relationships.
　The trouble was the connection to the dukes, but it was a relief that they were not under his control. The next problem, then, would be his friends.
　One of the neighbors they frequently met was the priest who was in charge of the church that also served as an orphanage, and the children he cared for.
　The priest's friend turned out to be a party of female mercenaries who are currently staying at the church.

"The priestess is in trouble. I have a record in the Matesis Holy Law Divine Kingdom, and from what I've heard, they're being pushed politically by neighboring countries. They might sell you information to make you look good.

　The priest in charge of the orphanage in the city of Santor was an official priest dispatched by the Holy Law God Kingdom of Metis. In addition, there are many priests, including apprentices.
　As long as he has ties to the major powers, his position as Sharanra is pretty bad. After all, she came back to this country as a disposable agent. As long as the religious state claims to be pure and innocent, Reimei will surely be cut off.
　Recently, she suffered a major defeat in a battle in the northern frontier plains, and the situation in the country is unstable due to a disaster. The situation in the country is unstable.
　If it were to be discovered that they had attempted to impose the Great Givlion on the magical kingdom of Solistea, it would be too late to ask for aid and assistance. Moreover, Reimei and the others failed in their mission.
　He was an Inquisition officer, but he was in a position where he could not be known as an agent.

"I didn't realize that my time in ...... that country would be a hindrance here. If that's the case, it might be effective to get into the hands of those mercenaries. .......... A woman with big breasts and a woman with a strange s*xuality. And then there's the kid. I'm sure you'll be able to figure out what's going on. The key is to win him over before that. Why are they next door to each other?

　According to what I heard from the neighbors, they have been providing the church with food and other support many times, and even if they move into the church, they will be fighting as soon as they see each other again.
　It was obvious that he would be defeated in a single blow.
　After all, my own brother is that [Annihilator]. Those evil people who used PK players as experimental subjects without mercy, and happily drove them to the depths of despair. He is one of them.
　I once tried to PK a party of [Annihilator], but the result was cruel.
　I was forcibly equipped with cursed items, hung upside down from a world tree, and made the target of vicious magic until my avatar disappeared.
　Because he was a Red Player, the Annihilators were not penalized in any way. Reimei, who didn't understand the game system, ranted and raved about how unfair it was.
　Whether in the game or in real life, criminals are subject to a certain amount of restraints. For example, they are not allowed to enter stores where ordinary players can use, or their faces are put on the bounty list.
　Because of their narrow-mindedness and inability to see this as a game, they were disliked by other PK players. In short, I was a bachelor.

"...... Well, okay. I'm sure he's talking about me anyway. But no matter how careful you are, if you shift your perception just a little bit, it's easy to believe it.
　He's learning, but he's still naive. I wonder if he thinks this is enough to stop him.

　He believes that he will be victorious this time because he has succeeded so many times.
　And this is a different world, where all of Reimei's victims are either dead or emotionally unstable because of the deception. By the time she recovered and decided to take revenge, she expected to be flying high.
　This was an educated guess.

The first thing I need to do is convince that saintly priestess. To do that, you need to go to .......

　Reimei had deliberately soiled her clothes, making her look rather shabby.
　I don't know if it's fortunate or not, but the fact that she hasn't had a proper meal in the past few days makes her look like a very unhappy woman.
　The siblings were similar in the way they took advantage of what they had.
　The first target, a priestess, is currently in the middle of shopping. Next to her is one of the mercenaries, a woman with big tits, but she has her uses.

"Get ahead of yourself, .......

　It's true that I'm actually hungry and I feel lightheaded.
　Taking this into account, he timed his appearance from the alleyway to appear in front of the priest.

"......... Oh!
Oh, my God!　Janae, grab your stuff!
Oh, .......

　And all that's left to do is fall down.
　From the looks of him, I judged him to be very good-natured, and I was glad that I was right and that the first barrier had been successfully overcome.
　But he never lets his inner mockery show.

"Are you okay?　Stay with me!
"I'm sorry, ........ I'm ...... fine. I'm ...... fine.
How can you be okay when you're so weak!　I need someplace to rest. ......

　Take advantage of people's kindness and slip inside them.
　No matter how many warnings Satoshi gives, people's perceptions of humanity are based on appearances and what they do for a few days.
　In addition, because she is a woman, she tries to get close to the other person out of sympathy. He took advantage of this psychology.
　This also included a calculation to create the perception that she was not Satoshi's family member.

"I'm ...... really fine. ...... Oh...
Don't try to stand up!　There's someplace you can rest .......
There's a mercenary guild right there. Why don't you carry him there?
Yes. ....... You can help me, too.


All right. I'll leave the heavy lifting to you.

　Thus, Reimei succeeded in making a connection with her target.
　All she had to do was to increase her credibility with her words.


　This is the first time I've ever seen such a thing.


...... You look very weak, what's wrong?　We can help you if you talk to us. ...... is not an irresponsible word. There's only so much we can do.
You're right. ....... It's a good idea to take a look at the website and see if you can find anything that might help you. However, if the ...... situation is very serious, it is indeed .......
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me at ....... It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　In the mercenary guild's dining room, Luceris and the others were listening to the story of the woman they had saved.
　According to the story, her husband had eloped with another woman to some other land, taking the proceeds of the store with him.
　They had a contract with another merchant and needed money to purchase goods for the store, but they could not pay the money and borrowed money using the store as collateral.
　However, sales did not increase, and the store became the property of others, and now the store has fallen so low that he cannot even afford to eat.

It's ...... a heavier story than I imagined.
Yes, it is. ....... But would there have been such a restaurant in Santor?
I came to this city because I thought I could get a job in ...... another city, but to my shame, I ran out of money .......
So, what are you going to do with your life?
I'll have to make do as a ......... prostitute.
You know how tightly they control the prostitutes in this town?　I'm not sure if it's a good idea, but it's a good idea. And if you're from another city, not many places will hire you.　If you're from another city, you're not likely to be hired by many brothels, unless you have a letter of introduction from the city you used to live in or from an affiliated brothel.
It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.

　Cities are governed by different laws depending on the lord who governs the land.
　Even merchants and brothel builders are subject to strict scrutiny depending on the city. The city of Santor is particularly strict.
　Brothels can be breeding grounds for the spread of venereal disease, so they do not hire women from other cities. Also, these establishments educate their prostitutes, most of whom are often criminal slaves.
　In order for ordinary people to become prostitutes, they need to be screened by merchants and the government.
　In short, they need to show proof of identity, such as family registration, and whether or not they have had any illnesses in the past. In addition, they must have a good reputation for their previous work.
　If you have no background information, you cannot even work in a brothel.

Oh, my God. ....... I don't have a family register in this country because I eloped from another country and got married. It seems that my husband did not go through the procedures. Oh, ......, what am I going to do now...
"That means you were planning to leave me from the start!　What a man. ......
But that's a problem. I can't hire you, either. ......
No, I'm grateful for the meal you've provided me. ....... I'll take care of it myself from now on.
No, you can't. In this case, you don't have a family register, right?　There's no place that will hire you.
I'll take care of it myself. It's my fault that I met such a horrible person like my husband. ......

　As a woman, it was a terrible story.
　But I can't help you find a job. The best you can do is to become a mercenary, but mercenaries have a hard time finding money when they are low in rank.
　Either way, we can't make enough money to live on for the time being.

"What should we do, Lu?　It's not good to abandon them here. ......
"Well, ...... the head priest said. If you can't take responsibility for the life you find, don't get an animal in the first place. I'll let you work for us until you have some street money saved up.
"No, it's not a dog or a cat. ......
It's the same thing in terms of meaning, you know?　It is irresponsible to offer a hand to those who are in need, if you cannot take responsibility for them until the end. On the other hand, if a person is offered a hand and cannot become independent, that person is also irresponsible.
"Well, people who take advantage of people's favors and become parasites are the worst. So you want him to work in the fields?
Yes, they will. We've been able to make a good living recently by growing medicinal herbs, but we still don't have enough money.
"So you're saying you'll hire him temporarily, but he'll have to find a place to work before he can save enough money to live on?
Yes. The church is subsidized by the government, but we are not wealthy. How would you like to work with us for a limited time?

　The woman gives a little thought.


　The church also takes care of the orphans that they have taken in, so they don't have a lot of money to spare. Medicinal plants can be sold at high prices, but not all of them are of high quality.
　Also, there are individual differences in the products that can be harvested, and it is necessary to have a good eye. It is common knowledge that there is a difference in price depending on the quality.

I understand .......... I'll take your word for it, ...... priest.
No, we're shorthanded too, and it would be great to have someone to help us out.
Hey, ........ We help out when we're not busy.
But it's not every day, is it?　Since medicinal herbs are wild plants, they grow fast. You can't sell them if they get too big.
I'm sorry I only help out irregularly. ......

　As mercenaries, Janae and the others can't help every day.
　As mercenaries, they can't help every day.
　During this time, they are unable to harvest the herbs they had planned, and overgrown herbs increase.
　In this case, the herbs cannot be sold, but must be used by Luceris in his preparations. The quality of the medicinal herbs would be slightly degraded, but it was better than wasting them.

"By the way, may I ask your name?
"Huh?　I'm Shadi, you didn't tell me your name.
My name is Luceris, an apprentice priest of the Four Divine Churches. I'll be with you for a while.
It's nice to meet you too.

　That's how I came to hire a servant for the church.
　While leaving the mercenary guild and heading for the church, Luceris and Jahne whispered to each other.

I'm not sure if that's the sister of ...... Xellos?
I'm not sure if that's true.　I'm not sure what to make of it.
I'm not sure if you're really a mercenary.　I'm not sure what to make of it. If that's an act, I'm afraid to admit it.
"Indeed, ....... It's quite different from the impression of the old man's story. It's hard to believe that a woman who looks so innocent could be a criminal.
I think that's why it's so vicious. ......
You can't tell if it's him or not. Then I guess we'll have to wait and see.
Yeah. ....... I hope it's a different person.

　We had our suspicions, but we didn't want to suspect anyone if we could help it.


　"What the hell?


"What the hell!　This priest ....... If you're a priest serving God, you should reach out to me right away!　And if you're trying to get me to work, you're not as black as you look!

　I'm not sure what to make of it. I thought she was a good-natured person, but she was much more uptight than I expected.
　Moreover, she is trying to make herself work. I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's a good idea.

...... Well, now we're on the inside. It's going to be a little tricky, but once we get her in here, we'll be fine. Just be patient for now. ......

　As for Reimei, she doesn't think she can make people trust her easily.
　I was annoyed that she was more of a realist than I expected, but the plan is working.

"These big tits are going to be easy to fool. The only two that remain unknown are .......

　There are two more of Jaune's friends.
　The little girl can be dealt with, but the problem is the woman who is the same age as Jahne.
　I've always had a hunch that she would be the toughest of the bunch.

"...... That woman is definitely on our side. I hope I can deceive her well, but if I can't, I'll ......".

　I'm planning on killing her behind her back.
　In this world, you can't prove a crime without evidence.
　Since there is no forensic investigation in this world, it is much easier to get things done than on Earth.
　However, the opponent they were about to attack was even more troublesome, and the three mercenaries had no time to worry about it.
　There was a high possibility that the slightest stumble would throw a wrench in their plans, as Luceris was surprisingly stubborn. For Reimei, it was a matter of life and death if things did not go well.

I'm not sure what to make of this.

　The die has already been cast.
　The place you're going to is enemy territory, and it's obvious that someone you know well has set a trap for you. The focus is on how to break down that stronghold.

You'll be able to find out more about this in the following article. I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you've. I'm not sure what to do.



　Reimei smiled secretly as she reached the church.
　She had been so successful in the past that she didn't think she would fail this time either.
　However, it turned out to be a mistake when she entered the church.

Hi everyone, I'm Shadi, and I'll be working here for a short time from today.
I'd like to thank you for your time.
「「「「「 Hmmm... .........」」」」」
I'm Shadi.　Well, I'm not going to stay here long, so that's good, but just now I need to make sure I don't get ripped off. ......

　The children's reactions were muted.
　In the middle of Luceris's unimportant self-introduction, Reimei's attention was caught by a girl. The girl was an elf.

She was an elf. I'm pretty sure slave elves fetch a high price. I wonder how much she would fetch if I sold her.
"Sister ......
Hey, maple.
Can't I slay this woman ...... now?
"What?

　As if she had read Reimei's thoughts, Kaede suddenly said something outrageous.
　I'm not sure what to do.

You're right. It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're doing.
I'm sure you're right. ....... I was feeling a little dirty, and I thought a cut would clear things up.
You're still very bloodthirsty. I hope you have a little more time.
No, you don't!　It was like this little girl was reacting to what I was thinking!　What the hell is wrong with you, you little brat?

　The elf girl radiated an obvious killing intent towards Reimei.
　It was a sign of death, as if she would be cut down if she approached. She was no ordinary child.

A swordsman must kill. I will slay those with evil intentions without mercy.　I can't forget how it felt to slay a demon once. How good am I now? ......
You can't think of people as straw for testing, you know.　If you sin, you will have to bear the karma, right?
"Rather, I will walk that path. I'm not sure what to do.
"......... is so intuitive.

　It was too much for a child to take.
　The next thing you know, the girl has her hand on the hilt of her sword, and you can see a slight glint of steel between the scabbard and the flange.
　If she had continued to think about anything else, she would have been cut down for sure.
　For this girl, those who are malicious are easy meat on the bone for her to try and cut. The fact that she welcomes them is rather scary.

If you cut her in half here, you'll get the same result.　I'm sure you'll be happy to hear that.
I'm not sure what to do.　It's not easy to get blood off the floor. It's a church, after all, and death is bad for the appearance. It's not good for the reputation of the church to have a bloodstain after a major hemorrhage.
"Yeah, well, it'll get the sisters in trouble. I'll be careful.
I can't eat human flesh. I've heard it stinks. ......
"'You're gonna eat that?
I mean, ...... can I slice them up where they can't see me?
「「「「 Yeah, yeah! 」」」」
You can't kill at your age, you know.　You're too young to be carrying the karma.
No, you're not!　I'm not sure if this is a real orphanage or not.

　It was doubtful if this church was really an orphanage.
　And the children also had an unusual understanding.

"...... Tsk. Too bad.
He clicked his tongue. ....... What the hell is wrong with these people?

　An orphanage is usually a government agency that raises and educates children who have no one to care for them and finds them foster parents.
　But the children raised in this church are very, very bloodthirsty in their thinking.
　And they were evil and quick to kill.
　To add to that, Kaede is clearly stronger than Reimi. Even though she had only the slightest intention to kill me, I couldn't stop shaking.
　Where in the world can you find a child who says, "A sword is only good for killing people"?

What kind of church is this?　What's an orphanage?　It's not a cave at all!

　It's a witch's cave! Such words flashed through Reimei's mind.
　And then there's Satoshi, laughing his ass off. She also thought she saw Satoshi laughing at her.


　It wasn't just a trap, it was a deathtrap of complete and utter perfection.

"You've done it, ...... Satoshi!

　You're so paranoid.
　But Reimei, who doesn't know that this is the everyday life of the church, is further aggravated by her resentment.
　She is a woman who thinks only in her own way.


　I'm not sure what to say.


"The school of death is!
"The deadly winds of the mad!
"Demon slayer!
"Demon slayer!
"Behold, the west is crimson with blood!

　It's early in the morning and the sound of steel is ringing out.
　Kaede and Xellos are facing each other.
　Both of them are holding serious weapons, and sparks fly from their clashing swords, followed by a leaping kick.
　The two continued to train while spouting stupid lines, unleashing quick-death slashes.
　It's more like a disaster.

I'm not sure what to make of it, but I'm sure it's worth it.
We can't afford to lose.
We're not quite there yet, but we'll get there.
We're not quite there yet. Meat.

　Johnny and the others were unfazed, as they always are.
　In addition, Wu Kei and the others came back, so the training was even more intense.
　And then...

"Homyo～～～～～～～～～～～～～～!

　Iris is flying through the air today.

"More to come!
Come on!　That's the spirit!　Instead of being overwhelmed by weakness, train your mind to take on the challenge!

　(That's the spirit! Instead of being overwhelmed by weakness, train your mind to challenge!
　I'm not sure if you've seen this before, but I'm sure you have.

I'm not sure what to make of this.　I'm not sure what to do.

　It's a good idea to have a good idea of what you're looking for.
　The more I learn, the more insane I become, and the more I wonder if I'm making a terrible mistake. The more I learn, the more insane I become.
　Children unleashing horrific slashes and blows. One of the mercenaries participating in the training and a troublesome-looking woman with whom he has yet to have a conversation.
　Rousselis is accepting of this unusual scene, and Janae seems so normal.

This is more troubling than ...... expected. But what is he teaching the children?

　I thought it was going to work out as usual.
　I thought it would work out as usual, but my brother Satoshi has shed his common sense in this other world. He is no longer bound by the laws of the earth, and there is no one who can stop him.
　In other words, Satoshi has also adapted to this world, just as Reemi has adapted to this world.
　This reminds me of how the laws on Earth have been protecting me.
　Above all, Reimi is a criminal. She is on the most wanted list, dead or alive, and her head can be exchanged for a large sum of money. She can't stand to be someone else's breadwinner.

"We have to do something. ......

　I have come to understand that the more time goes by, the more I am at a disadvantage.


　The more time passes, the more I understand my disadvantage.　


　After attending to the children's training, Xellos prepared breakfast and put the food on plates.
　He walked out the back door with a tray in his hand and headed straight for the shed where he kept his farming tools.

Breakfast, sir. Well, it's a man's home-cooked meal, so I can't guarantee the taste.
No, ...... would be great.

　Xavon was hiding in the shed.
　He was looking out the window at the church, watching the woman he thought was Sharla.

I'll get you a change of clothes later. I'll bring you a change of clothes later.
What the hell are you ...... up to?
Stick to the plan. To get rid of the poisonous woman. But I don't think you need to sacrifice yourself to do that. ......
This is a matter of personal responsibility. ....... If I was deceived, I was certainly happy during that time. ......


Are you taking me down with you?　I'll be honest, there are quite a few victims out there who feel the way you do. I don't think you need to go that far with him, do you?

　Xelloss has never loved another person so single-mindedly.
　That's why I can't get over his feelings. He really thinks that Reimei should be killed and fed to the fishes.
　But Zavon still loved her.
　He can't forgive her because she cheated on him, but he still longs for her. That single-minded emotion has reached dangerous territory.
　Xelloss has told him many times that he does not need to be Reimei's equal, but he stubbornly refuses to accept it.

You're ready for this. ....... But you're going to get killed, aren't you?
I don't care. I don't see the point of ...... living anymore. I don't know why I'm alive anymore. I don't care if it's a false happiness, this feeling is real.
You're a hard man to please. I think it's men like you who should live, but I won't say anything if you're ready. But you're going to have to help me, okay?
"Oh, ......, you know I'm definitely going to do something, right?　I'm not going to let him do anything more than he already has.
I don't think it's a sin. I don't think it's a sin, but you have to pay for it. While I'm still alive. ......

　I can't forgive Reimei for being a sinner and still living happily.
　In order to make her pay for her sins, it is necessary to give her the despair she deserves.
　It's a way of releasing the anger that has tormented me for forty years.

"...... He'll make his move soon.
Do you know this because we're sisters?
No, I've been there. I... well, I used to have hope, you know. I used to have hope. But that didn't change when my parents died.
　On the contrary, he's a prick who's glad to have a fortune. My father worked hard, my mother worked hard, and in one year he spent all the money we had saved. On top of that, he even went after the property I inherited. Not only did he have an affair with my boss at work, but he took up with my business rival and robbed me of my reason for living!　He even tried to kill me several times while we were living together. He even tried to kill me several times while we were living together. Zavon......, even if you love him, I will kill him with my own hands. Honestly, I want to go kill him right now. But you have to finish him first.
What?　Okay, okay. ....... By the way, I see you're out on the town in the middle of the night.
A bit of subterfuge. Call it harassment, but so far it's working as expected. I'd say it's working. I'm going to hunt him down once and for all. ...... Hahahahaha!

　Zavon was touched by the rage in Xellos.
　A terrible darkness. How can two blood relatives hold such a grudge?
　He understands. Xellos can't go anywhere until he gets rid of this darkness.

"...... Hmm. I'm getting emotional. Mr. Zavon, I'll leave it to you to settle this. I'm going to make sure no one I know gets hurt.
"You're ...... pretty patient. I have some respect.
No, please. I'm not a respected person. I'm just a regular old guy, a recluse.

　With that, he turned away and walked out of the storage room.
　I guess he's getting ready to harass me again.

"............ is not normal.

　To no one in particular, Zarbon mutters quietly.
　The darkness of hatred was too deep.
